So you seen the clutch move inwards while the car was running and it didnt spin? Did it stall the engine or make the belt squeel? Try turning the clutch plate manually with the car off if it rotate then you most likely has a bad clutch. if it doesnt rotate at all then you may need a compressor and clutch. (note if its just the clutch you can get a clutch kit and not have to drain the system).

Default It rotates by hand, it didn't spin with 12v and it didn't stall the car even though it moved inwards

just weak?

Is it the same as the 4-cylinder AC clutch by any chance?
